At a
Young age

Made strong
But all

A pain
Butshe's alive

Thatnight crickets cried
They knew what was going down
Three girls travel along country road
And one said she thinks it's time
This baby wants tocome right now

I was scufflin' going to school
I wasscufflin' working at night
And you know what
I truly believe
And that'swhy I tell a lot of parents
Single parents, don't tell me what God can'tdo.

I never felt like you should be deprived ofanything
If a man didn't want to take care of his child
You move on
Andthat's what I did
I moved on
